Output Measurement. At the end of the XxX we will want to get an idea of how effective our dissemination output has been. To get performance indicators, we will keep records to gather as much information to measure impact as we can. We will continually research published best practice in impact measurement from Horizon 2020 projects and other sources to establish appropriate metrics for this measurement. Below are the types of output measurement that we will track: • Number of events participated in • Number of attendees at our events • Feedback from workshops and events, e.g. via surveys • Number of publications • Publication journal impact factor • Website stats and social media stats • Estimated sizes of audiences reached • Growth in number of end-users of our biomedical applications 13 After the XxX Through WP6 (Task 6.6: Long-term Sustainability), we will explore various models for the long- term sustainability of the Centre of Excellence, based around: a) the creation of a European Research Infrastructure Consortium funded by private entities, member states, and the European Commission; b) transfer of the portfolio of solutions developed by the XxX to a group of public or private entities that will continue to provide commercial access to these solutions after the end of CompBioMed2; and c) a hybrid solution, where all solutions are licensed for use by for-profit organisations to commercial entities and made available through a group of HPC national centres to not-for-profit organisations. Once the long-term sustainability strategy is selected, in the last 24 months of the XxX we will fulfil all the necessary legal and organisational arrangements, so that such strategy becomes operational by the end of the CompBioMed2 XxX.
Output Measurement. At the end of the project we will want to get an idea of how effective our dissemination output has been. To get performance indicators, we will keep records to gather as much information to measure impact as we can. We will continually research published best practice in impact measurement from Horizon 2020 projects and other sources to establish appropriate metrics for this measurement. Here are some types of output measurement we can track: • Number of events participated in • Number of attendees at our events • Feedback from workshops and events, e.g. via surveys • Number of publications • Citations from publications • Publication journal impact factor • Website stats and social media stats • Estimated sizes of audiences reached
Output Measurement. Output Standard Output Indicator Agreed Level 1 No. of vulnerable households newly and successfully contacted through outreaching attempts 200 households x (establishment of social worker of the service unit) in a year 2 No. of vulnerable households newly and successfully referred to other welfare or mainstream services1 3 No. of volunteers newly recruited2 to assist in outreaching and networking efforts
Output Measurement. At the end of the project we will want to get an idea of how effective our dissemination output has been. To get performance indicators, we will keep records of how many events we have participated in, who the audience was, how big the audience was, how big the audience was for our posters, how many took our leaflets, registered for our training events, how many white papers we produced, numbers for downloads of our software and publications, and gauge our influence in social media by tracking followers on the platforms we will participate in. We will also be able to track progress in attracting attendees to our workshops by benchmarking the second event against the first. The number of publications, their journals’ impact factors, and the number of citations received will also give a measure of effectiveness. CompBioMed intends to gather as much information to measure impact as possible. We will continually research published best practice in impact measurement from Horizon 2020 projects and other sources to establish appropriate metrics for this measurement. For example, the European Commission lists the following as examples of output measurement: • Evidence of debates in the media • Evidence of new funders for your area • Evidence of transfer of research and innovation into practice (patents, prototypes, licenses) • Number and turnover of new products, practices or procedures developed, based on your research outcomes • Number of articles in the press • Number of people asking for feedback or more information • Number of references in scientific publications • Participation in project events and seminars • Speaker evaluations from conference presentations • Survey of end-users • Trends in website visits We will also consider using alternative metrics to gage the reach of our publications. Altmetric (xxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx) is a service that tracks non-journal citation impact; here a score is provided which acts as a quantitative measure of the attention that a publication or event has received via social media. The impact is measured in terms of the articles being mentioned or linked to in social media, articles, blogs and websites, and is adjusted according to the significance and relevance of that source.
